Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration Version 3.3 for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager User's Guide

Upgrading Dell driver CAB files

Steps

  1. Launch Configuration Manager Console.
  2. In the left pane, select Software Library > Overview > Application Management > Packages.
  3. Right-click Packages and select DLCI Server Deployment > Import DLCI Dell Driver Cabs.
    The DLCI WinPE Driver Configuration Wizard screen is displayed. If there is an existing CAB file package on the server, then the CAB file version, Windows PE version, and architecture is displayed under CAB Selection for Import section.
  4. Click Browse and navigate to the CAB file self-extractable zip file that you downloaded. Click Next.
    The selected CAB file version, Windows PE version, and architecture are displayed in Cab Selection for Import section.
  5. In Boot Image Selection, select any one of the following options:
    NOTE Make sure that you import a 64-bit CAB file before selecting x64 boot images in any of the following options.
    Use Boot Image from WAIK/ADK tools
    Select this option to create both x64 and x86 Dell boot images. The source for the boot image creation is obtained from Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) or Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK), depending on the configuration, and all the Windows PE custom install packages are added to the boot image.
    Use existing Boot Image from Configuration Manager
    This option allows you to select an existing boot image in Configuration Manager. Select an existing boot image from the drop-down list and use it to create a Dell boot image.
    Use a custom Boot Image
    Select this option to import a custom boot image from any other location. Specify the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path of the Windows Imaging (WIM) file and select the boot image from the drop-down list.
    NOTE Only finalized images are supported if you select the Use a Custom Boot Image option for WinPE.
    NOTE The Windows PE custom boot image should have XML, Scripting, and WMI packages installed on it. For more information on how to install these packages, see the Microsoft Windows AIK or Windows ADK documentation.
  6. Click Next.
    The Boot Image Property screen is displayed.
  7. In the Boot Image Property, enter a name for the Dell boot image.
    The Version and Comments fields are optional.
  8. Click Create.
    The boot image creation process begins. A progress bar shows the status of the boot image creation. After the boot image is created, the boot image details are displayed on the Summary screen, the information includes DTK or CAB file details, and success state.
  9. Right-click each of the newly created boot images and perform the update and manage distribution points operations.
    The drivers imported from Dell driver CAB files are injected into WinPE. This process depends on the Configuration Manager and ADK. It is recommended that you read the limitations documented for these products before creating a boot image. For example, technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825070.aspx
    NOTE You can view the DTK configuration details only by using the Import DLCI Dell Driver Cabs.
